No two eyes are the same, so why should your lenses be?
At Eyecare Plus Mermaid Beach, we specialise in Rodenstock Biometric Lenses, an advanced generation of lenses designed using the individual biometry of your eyes. This innovative approach marks the beginning of the biometric era of vision care at our practice and reflects our philosophy: precision, personalisation, and better long-term visual comfort.
Using the Rodenstock DNEye® Scanner, we create lenses that are manufactured exclusively for your eyes, delivering sharper vision, improved night clarity, and fewer visual symptoms such as eye strain and headaches.
What Are Biometric Lenses?
Most conventional spectacle lenses are designed using only four standard prescription values from a traditional eye test. To calculate these lenses, manufacturers rely on a simplified or “average” eye model.
The problem?These standard values accurately represent only about 2% of eyes.
This means most people are wearing lenses that are close, but not truly optimised for their unique eye shape, size, and visual behaviour.
Biometric Lenses are different.
At Eyecare Plus Mermaid Beach, we use the DNEye® Scanner to measure:
The length of your eye
Pupil size and behaviour
Corneal aberrations
Thousands of individual data points across the eye
This data is used to create a complete biometric model of your entire eye, which is then incorporated directly into the lens manufacturing process—a capability that is unique in the optical industry.
The result: The most precise lenses in the world, delivering sharp vision at every angle and every gaze.
The DNEye® Scanner – Seeing Your Eyes Like Never Before
The Rodenstock DNEye® Scanner is at the heart of biometric lens design.
Unlike standard testing, it captures:
Over 7,000 data points per eye
Exact eye length and optical behaviour
How your eyes respond in different lighting conditions
Using this information, we generate a highly accurate eye model for each individual eye, not an average, not an estimate.
This allows us to determine:
Your true centre of sharp vision
How light travels through your eye
How lenses should be optimised for both focus and peripheral vision
All relevant biometric data flows seamlessly into the lens production process, ensuring each lens is crafted to fit your visual system as precisely as possible.
What Are the Benefits of Biometric Lenses?
Biometric Lenses are designed to work in harmony with your brain and visual system, supporting the natural dynamics of daily life.
A Swiss study of 283 wearers (90% of whom already wore glasses) found:
92% experienced sharper vision
87% had reduced adaptation time
84% noticed improved contrast
80% reported better vision at dusk
Patients experience:
Sharper distance and near vision
Improved night vision and contrast
A larger, more natural field of view
Reduced eye strain and visual fatigue
Greater overall visual comfort
This makes Biometric Lenses ideal for people who drive at night, use screens extensively, or want the most refined visual experience possible.
Why Biometric Lenses Feel More Natural
Human vision relies on two systems working together:
Focus vision – what you are directly looking at
Peripheral vision – how you orient yourself and detect movement
Your eyes move constantly, up to 250,000 times a day, shifting focus between near, intermediate, and distance while the peripheral system keeps you balanced and aware.
Standard lenses often optimise only a small central area.
By incorporating biometric eye data, Biometric Lenses support:
Smooth transitions across the entire lens
Clear vision at every angle
Seamless cooperation between focus and peripheral vision
This results in vision that feels more stable, natural, and effortless, especially in progressive or multifocal lens designs.
